OMG I can't believe this is it.
This show means so much to me and in a few hours it will end.

I'm very emotional. Thanks for the thread!

^ I hope you enjoy the finale

I also can't believe that it's coming to an end so soon... but at the same time I want to see how it ends, so excited about that

Good luck tonight everyone. I've accidentally seen the leaked breakdown for the episode, so won't be watching for a few days until i get over it.

Holy...
A) I had no intention of watching pasting checking if the leaks were true but I could not look away because the city was never as pretty as it was covered in ashes, and with that wintery look

B) Hitler like Dany is still OC but she looks amazing and from the acting, Jon is truly in agony. First time In whole the season I can actually buy he is in love with her. Also I can’t believe they decided to confirm Tyrion carrying a torch for her too. Made it all more twisted that he decided to goad on Jon to kill her. Everyone is insane here.

C) Drogon mourning his mom was a legitimately moving scene , it broke me.

Another trash episode. three in a row way to end a great show.

Drogon & Grey Worm were the best parts of the episode.

Where they hell did that snow come from it was just sunny hours ago. this show is a mess.

Have to admire Grey Worm’s restraint in not killing Jon.

I'm assuming you're talking about King's Landing being coated in white, but it wasn't snow; it was ash.

Well, it is over.

It was ... mostly painful.

I still think it is absurd, in s medieval world, to want to put down your leader because she is turning into a ‘Lady Of War’ archetype. They acted like they never contemplated the meaning of the word ‘conqueror’. It felt very off with the previous seasons, like they tried to paste on this show a finale of some other kind of Show.

Drogon’s grief was one of the best things, and... I gotta admire Sansa’s nerve in insisting for nothern indipendence.

Jon Snow looked like a man destroyed by life in the end, but I can not blame him or feel sorry for him.

Arya and Sansa got all they wanted , and I suppose I approve.

The council I found mostly ridiculous.


I wanted an hint that Dany might have survived but... eh, it looks like too much to ask. I suppose this is what fanfiction is for.

I think they made the right choice for King. No one can plot or oppose a ruler who sees all the truth and knows everything.

Damn, Bran! Playing the game, for sure.

Whomever came up with that Bran theory on Reddit deserves a medal. It happened exactly as they said it was and he was pulling the strings the whole time.

It's disturbing,but Dany being manipulated makes her death hurt less. The Children of the Forest would be happy, but when he dies, it doesn't matter. They're a democracy of sorts now. The Iron Throne is gone.

I thought I'd hate it,but I wound up loving it. Ghost and Jon reunited with Tormund and the Wildlings,Sam got to be the Archmaester and the choices for Small Council were good. Hopefully Tyrion will be a decent hand now.

Tyrion being in love with her was stupid. Jorah loved her, Daario loved her, Jon loved her and now Tyrion did, too?

Varys failed and Jon wasn't the ruler he thought he'd be. I think Jon did love Dany,but because they suddenly made her crazy,he pulled away. That and the whole incest thing. She died being killed by the man she loved and it was so depressing. Drogon's wail made me cry. Dany was Queen of the Ashes.

Grey Worm going to Naath was so sad. I hope the leaks were right and he and the Unsullied go to the cities that still have slavery to liberate them.

I wish Arya had been with Gendry, but no couple got to be together. Depressing, but oh well. I like her pulling a Reepicheep(From Chronicles of Narnia).

Brienne made me emotional. She was so dignified, even if her heart was broken. She made sure Jaime's good needs were recorded.

It is kind of nice that Jon had more than two lines for once. He got to do more than say she's his queen and he doesn't want the throne.

Sansa got to be a queen, after all. Dany would have never hurt Jon and I still think she got the ball rolling, but after this, I'll cut her some slack. Bran was setting things in motion. He did want to be king and he did everything the Children of the Forest and the old Raven wanted him to do.

Seriously. I heard he was going to be this shiesty bad guy and the theory was true. He wasn't illustrated as a clear-cut bad guy,but he's been plotting all this crazy stuff.

Poor Emilia, though. They're posting snippets of interviews and she and no idea Dany was going to die. She was flabbergasted and went nuts. Even Kit was emotional.
